ABSTRACT:
A method of attitude measurement for an artificial satellite (100) utilizes one or more star trackers (12) together with an earth sensor (30). Periodic updates of satellite orbital information, either propagated onboard or from a ground station are combined with earth and star position coordinate data to provide a continuous and accurate measurement of the spacecraft body 3-axis attitude. The method can be used for ground-based attitude determination or onboard closed loop control systems.
